Black Swan Development prepped this lovely property last summer and fall 2007 by clearing the lot of old debris and rocks, and moved in several inches of topsoil. The topsoil has been seeded and will produce an attractive grass covering the entire property, once winter decides to give up. Black Swan also planted over 100 pines and fir trees on the property, and lined the entire perimeter with attractive 3 rail fencing. Stands of timber on the west side of the river are home to abundant wildlife, often scene ducking down to the river for a drink. Elk, White Tail Deer, Bear, Moose and a host of bird life as well as other Big Game species, can be glimpsed in this semi remote region.
Protective covenants are available upon request. The terms are easy and comfortable, without being too restrictive, and meant to maintain the rights of property owners to keep River’s Edge a development that is attractive and marketable with substantial appreciation in value over the years, as discovery of Idaho progresses.
Although there is currently 1 to 2 feet of snow in Elk City as of this articles publish date, the roads are clear and are plowed whenever snow falls. Right now, the weekend warriors can be found lining the banks of the river fishing for steelhead as they make their way up river. World class fishing can be found along the entire stretch of the South Fork of the Clearwater River. Access the South Fork off Hwy 12 from Missoula, turning at Kooskia, Idaho onto Hwy 13 and following that stretch of road through Stites and Harpster before meeting up with Hwy 14, which will take you the 55 miles to Elk City and beyond.

Sue and I saw an Elk Cow and her 2 cows, across the river, stepping higher on the ridge as we crunched our way to the covered porch to snap new photos of the rustic vacation cabin on Lot 5 with 2.85 Acres (MLS# 109203). We could not get our camera on them before they disappeared into the tree line above, but it was an exciting moment to see these magnificent creatures.
Sue and I drove up to Elk City Idaho area to tend to some real estate listings. It was a perfect day of adventure, with blue skies and frosty clean snow putting a sparkle on the landscape.
We departed from Grangeville around 8:45am, heading down Mount Idaho Grade to Hwy 14 along the South Fork of the Clearwater River. Its a beautiful 55 mile drive, any time of year, and the Ford Explorer with studded tires was an excellent vehicle for our January road trip.
Turning onto Red River Rd, just past the old Bennett Mill site, held the promise of a new listing. Galena creek meanders through the property where it meets with Red River, a frozen ribbon through the giant meadows of the Red River area. This beautiful family size log home on the right side of the road perches itself at the edge of a beautiful landscape of pure wilderness as far as the eye can see.
The county plows Red River Road daily making winter access a breeze. Year round recreation is the key to enjoying the Red River area.
